Spilka before the KO

Will povetkin watch Spilkas strategy before he was put to sleep? I felt like Spilka was able to throw Wilder off before the big punch. If Povetkin boxes and doesn't get caught with a large punch, I don't see how Wilders technical skills would be able to compete. Size aside, Povetkin doesn't fight anything like a Ronnie Shields-trained Szpilka.

If Povetkin tries to fight Wilder close to how he fought Wlad... It's gonna be a sad night for those Russian fans. All that duckin in close sh*t is gonna have him eating a massive left hook/uppercut. When that dazes him... he's gonna eat the nastiest straight right down the pipe, and it's gonna kill him.

It looked like it took a good 6 rounds for Wilder to figure out the range and distance in the Spzilka fight. He made a lot of mistakes as well, missing punches and putting himself off balance in the first 3 rounds especially. He can't do that with Povetkin. If it takes Wilder 6 rounds to warm up against Povetkin it means he is finished early. Povetkin will get inside and he WILL land, Wilders balance and footwork is not the best and he has never shown an ability to tie up on the inside, he tries to jump backwards with his hands raised and keep distance as defence, Povetkin will be far more aggressive than Spzilka was and will pressure him early and have him out of there. Wilder will have to box better than he has ever done and not make the mistakes I've seen in his last 3 fights. The pressure and crowd could play a part. Will his boxing and composure go out the window once he gets hit and the crowd get excited?

Mike Perez the guy Povetkin KOed in 1 round is better than Spilka. @ heavyweight all it takes is one well timed shot and Wilder has a bazooka in his right. His jab is getting better as well and he is shortening his shots I'd like he and SPlika to fight.....Sometimes will beats natural ability and Im sure Spilka will would be in better shape and outwork him. I dont see why people are high on guys just because of their amatuer background. He isnt a very good pro and shows up like he went to a pie eating contest All the talent or skills in the world means little if you dont prepare to for a hard fight.

Szpilka did really well with Wilder until he got knocked out. Povetkin will be a different fight, Wilder will look to control the distance and use primarily his jab.

I think we'll see Wilder get KTFO before we see him fold. He gets a bad rap for having a weak chin or being soft for some reason. IMO he is improving with each fight. I could see Povetkin walkinf into something big before he can completely break Wilder down mentally and physically Mike Perez the guy Povetkin KOed in 1 round is better than Spilka.

i wouldn't say szpilka was more aggressive than povetkin. i think povetkin is much more accustomed to pressing the action. this will either result in wilder folding under pressure or povetkin walking onto something big I think we'll see Wilder get KTFO before we see him fold.

This suggestion reminds me of Berto imitating Mayweather in the Guerrero fight. Berto was imitating Broner after seeing what he did to Demarco

Splika is a southpaw, and is more aggressive than Povetkin and more unorthodox....Povetkin will have a hard time trying to get inside, and IMO it will be easier for Wilder to time Povetkin becuase he is used to fighting right handers and will better anticipate whats coming his way i wouldn't say szpilka was more aggressive than povetkin. i think povetkin is much more accustomed to pressing the action. this will either result in wilder folding under pressure or povetkin walking onto something big

hope not even as he gets older povetkin is still a far better fighter than szpilka is szpilka strategy just seemed to be physically overwhelming him, neither was really putting on a boxing clinic in there, it was some sloppy ****

the glass jawed polish was definetly outboxing Windmiller prior to the KO punch Povetkin's way more skilled with a solid chin. Wilder's days are numbered Splika is a southpaw, and is more aggressive than Povetkin and more unorthodox....Povetkin will have a hard time trying to get inside, and IMO it will be easier for Wilder to time Povetkin becuase he is used to fighting right handers and will better anticipate whats coming his way
